Not sure if there is any meaning to this connection although I find it very interesting.
I won't post the entire three chapters here. You can read them at Blue Letter Bible if you don't have a bible or have it with you.
In Judges 19-21, a Levite traveling with his concubine stopped in Gibeah, a city of the Tribe of Benjamin, for the night. It was a dangerous place and a Gibeahnite invited them into his home for the night. Some men of belial (ba-al) came and wanted him to send the man out so they could rape him (sounds a lot like what happened to sodom and gomorah with the angels) and the man refused and gave his daughter and the Levite's concubine to them to do with them what they wanted. They abused and raped the Levite's concubine and she ended up dying.
Under Yahweh's instruction and with a sorrowful heart, the children of Israel came to fight the Gibeahnites. The rest of the Tribe of Benjamin came to the aid of the Benjaminites in Gibeah. All the women were killed and nearly all of the tribe of Benjamin were wiped out. They found women from another tribe for the surviving Benjaminites to marry so the tribe would not be wiped out. Yahweh allowed the near destruction of the Tribe of Benjamin due to sodomy.
Later Israel demanded a king even though they had Yahweh as their king. Yahweh gave them King Saul which was from the Tribe of Benjamin even though in Genesis 49:8-10, Judah was to reign until the Messiah came. It is obvious Saul was a placeholder by Yahweh until King David was old enough to become king because of the insistence for a king by Israel.
The most interesting part is that King Saul was from Gibeah. I'm quite sure that what happened in Judges 19-21 with the Tribe of Benjamin almost being wiped out and Saul, a Benjaminite, from Gibeah becoming king are related although Yahweh has not shown me any more on this yet. Gibeah (and the entire Tribe of Benajmin nearly being wiped out because of what happened in Gibeah) almost being wiped out. Saul, from the Tribe of Benjamin, being named king even though Judah was to rule, and Saul being from Gibeah is very interesting puzzle to figure out. (FYI: King David was from Judah)
Genesis 49
8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

In “Highly Provocative” Act, Iran Fires Rockets Near US Navy Warships
(scripture verse in original article - link below)
“That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters! Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and of glossy skin, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!” (Isaiah 18:2)
In what a US military spokesperson called a “highly provocative” act, the Iranian navy test-fired rockets in close proximity to a number of US navy warships, including the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, in the Gulf last week.

The Mark of The Beast (antichrist / 666) Is a PHYSICAL Mark - don't believe the lies!
Something that is very disturbing is the amount of people on the internet who are bible teacher wanna-be's who have no clue about what the bible says. There is so much false and heretical doctrine and some teachings that are extremely dangerous that are being spread by people who are biblically ignorant. The bible warns that there will be a stricter judgment for those who are teachers which should make people study the bible before making their youtube videos with their [false] bible teachings. Some (most?) get their false teachings from other false teachers or even fictional books. Few study the bible and even fewer study apologetics.
James 3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, since you know that we will be judged more severely.
1 Timothy 1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
2 Timothy 4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
There have been some extremely heretical and some downright spiritually dangerous teachings that have gained momentum since the advent of the internet. One of the most rampant is replacement theology, with all of its flavors, spread by false teachers and their followers. Another extremely dangerous teaching is the one that says that the mark of the beast is "spiritual" and is not a physical mark. The heretics that are teaching this extremely dangerous doctrine and they claim that "there is nothing you can do to lose your salvation" (words to that affect)
What these false teachers do not understand (or if they undestand they are intentionally deceiving) is that the mark of the beast (antichrist / 666) is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and Yahweh will give those who take it a strong delusion so there is no hope for them - people will not, and can not, repent after receiving the mark. The people that take the mark of the beast (antichrist / 666) are eternally damned. These false teachers teach that it is not impossible to lose hope of salvation but the bible is clear there is such a time one can have no possibility of repentance.
Matthew 12:31 I tell you that any sinful thing you do or say can be forgiven. Even if you speak against the Son of Man, you can be forgiven. But if you speak against the Holy Spirit, you can never be forgiven, either in this life or in the life to come.
2 Thessalonians 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate1 mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Finally, several verses in the book of Revelation speak of the antichrist's mark (666 / mark of the beast) and they clearly say once a person takes it, they are reprobate - unable to repent - and with the other verses (above) it is clear that Yahweh has given them a strong delusion and a strong indication that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is a conditon for accepting the mark either explicit or implied. The verses also say there will be angels warning of the consequences of taking the mark so whoever does so will be clearly warned and will do so knowing what the consequences are - nobody will be tricked into it or take it ignorant of the consequences.
Revelation 13
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 14
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Who is your Messiah? Yeshua or the Apostle Paul? (and why do I ask?)
You are not justified by the works of the law - BUT obeying is a sign that you belong to Yeshua. Messiah said if you do not obey His commandments, He will reject you. Either the apostle Paul was wrong or he is misunderstood if it conflicts with what the Messiah - the one we are to FOLLOW - says:
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity G458.
Strong's number G458 : iniquity (transliterated as anomia)
anomia
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
John14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
1John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Many choose to follow what they are told the apostle Paul said instead of what Messiah Himself directly said - they twist Paul's words to their own destruction just like what Peter said they do:
2 Peter 3
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Yeshua said His sheep know His voice and follow HIM (not the words of the apostle Paul they twist so they can follow Him how they want to follow Him) Yeshua clearly says those that do not obey, He will reject and anything that seems to contradict that is either false or misinterpreted. People are too willing to believe the words of the apostle Paul that have been twisted even though those twistings contradict what THE MESSIAH - Yeshua - clearly taught - placing the apostle Paul (in their minds) above THE MESSIAH.
So do you choose to follow the words of the apostle Paul that have been twisted or do you choose to follow Yeshua THE MESSIAH? If you choose to follow anything that contradicts what Yeshua said, you are following a false Messiah and are not listening to Yeshua's voice therefore you are NOT His sheep.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity G458.
Strong's number G458 : iniquity (transliterated as anomia)
anomia
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
John14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
1John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Many choose to follow what they are told the apostle Paul said instead of what Messiah Himself directly said - they twist Paul's words to their own destruction just like what Peter said they do:

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Yeshua said His sheep know His voice and follow HIM (not the words of the apostle Paul they twist so they can follow Him how they want to follow Him) Yeshua clearly says those that do not obey, He will reject and anything that seems to contradict that is either false or misinterpreted. People are too willing to believe the words of the apostle Paul that have been twisted even though those twistings contradict what THE MESSIAH - Yeshua - clearly taught - placing the apostle Paul (in their minds) above THE MESSIAH.
So do you choose to follow the words of the apostle Paul that have been twisted or do you choose to follow Yeshua THE MESSIAH?

judas [false] "christians" the rapture and Project Blue Beam (video transcript)
Transcript of the video just posted on youtube:
1judas [false] "christians" the rapture and Project Blue Beam
2
The judas spirit is alive and well today especially among the false "christians" - including "pastors" - that have infiltrated the church.
Both Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) and the apostle Paul warned of this:
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Acts 20
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
3
Messiah Yeshua was betrayed by one of His disciples for 30 pieces of silver. He was not surprised- He knew that He would be betrayed and He knew who was going to betray Him. What was surprising is that none of the other disciples knew who the betrayer was - they even wondered if they were the one because they did not see the wickedness of judas and could not figure out who the evildoer was.
Matthew 26
21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
4
While most who are - or claim to be - Christians know how judas betrayed Yeshua and associate judas with betrayal, most do not know or skip over the fact that judas was also a THIEF and he was out to steal from Yeshua's followers.
John 12
3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
MANY so-called "christian" pastors are out to STEAL by using the poor and the homeless to do so . . .
5
The bible warns that the wolves and deceivers would rise up AMONG the congregation - they will pretend and act like believers while they are liars and deceivers who are out to steal money by asking for donations "for the homeless" (or poor) in order to get people to send them money they are going to use for themselves. These wolves will refuse to give an account for what they use the "donations for the homeless" for, they refuse to state how much money "for the Holocaust survivors" they use for their salaries, they claim they want to "purchase wooden boats to smuggle Jews to Israel" and other such nonsense - and the believers they are stealing from continue to defend the thieves and continue to follow the deceiving "pastors"
6
When you want to help the poor or homeless, donate to a food bank and help those in your own community - do not send money to a thief. Yahweh has you in your community to help those in need there. Help your fellow believers who need help and send them help if they are in need. If someone is claiming they want you to send them money to "help the homeless" in THEIR community they are out to steal the money - there are homeless and poor in your own community that you need to be concerned about. If you still think the wolf begging for money is sincere and truthful then ask them how the money is being used and have them give an account for what they are using the money for. Yahweh is NOT a beggar and does not need to use someone to beg for money for Him and will certainly not use someone in a community to take the aid out of another community that needs help.
Proverbs 20:4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
Psalms 24:1 (A psalm by David.) The earth and everything on it belong to the LORD. The world and its people belong to him.
7
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
How do they sneak in? THROUGH THE INTERNET!
8
The false wolf "pastors" are clouds without rain - they are unstable and will switch their doctrines and teachings for a fee. They also expect money from their acquainances and if they do not get it, they throw that person under the bus - betrayal for a fee just like judas did to Yeshua.
Proverbs 25:14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
(false gift: false discernment, false "pastor", false teacher, etc.)
Jude 1
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

10
Time is short. Yeshua will return very soon and then Daniel's 70th week will start when the antichrist confirms the covenant for seven years. Most of those that believe they will be raptured will be left behind - Yeshua even said so (Matthew 7:21-23 and Matthew 25) and then they will believe THE LIE spoken of in Thessalonians 2:11-12 because, after all, "it couldn't have been the rapture because we are still here". Most likely if the rapture des not occur during terrorist attacks or national emergency, people will believe it was something like "project bluebeam"
Now is the time to repent (turn away from violating Yahweh's instructions) and accept Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah (Lord and Savior) because you may not have a tomorrow.

Pre-Tribulation Rapture Bible Verses
Zephaniah 2
2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
* * * * * * *
Psalms 83
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
where will these people be hidden??? Why would Yahweh's enemies consult each other about these people who are hidden? Could it be they consult together to come up with an explanation that people are missing?
* * * * * * *
Isaiah 26
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Yahweh's people will be hidden during the tribulation in chambers.
John 14
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
* * * * * * *
Joel 2:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Who is the Bridegroom? and who is the bride? Where were they hidden?
* * * * * * *
Genesis 29:27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
How long are is a bride and bridegroom alone after their wedding before she is called his wife? This shows a wedding week - an entire week not half of a week. One had her wedding week before another was brought in --- this is a very interesting passage that reveals much about the tribulation. The one he loved was brought in after the wedding week of the other.

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Revelation 3
10 Because you did obey my message about persevering, I will keep you from the time of trial coming upon the whole world to put the people living on earth to the test.
11 I am coming soon; hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown.
Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
At the end of the tribulation, Yeshua's bride is called His wife --- who is she and when was her wedding week???
2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
where will these people be hidden??? Why would Yahweh's enemies consult each other about these people who are hidden? Could it be they consult together to come up with an explanation that people are missing?
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Yahweh's people will be hidden during the tribulation in chambers.
John 14
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Who is the Bridegroom? and who is the bride? Where were they hidden?
How long are is a bride and bridegroom alone after their wedding before she is called his wife? This shows a wedding week - an entire week not half of a week. One had her wedding week before another was brought in --- this is a very interesting passage that reveals much about the tribulation. The one he loved was brought in after the wedding week of the other.
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
10 Because you did obey my message about persevering, I will keep you from the time of trial coming upon the whole world to put the people living on earth to the test.
11 I am coming soon; hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown.

DUBAI - Saudi Arabia said it intercepted a Scud ballistic missile fired from Yemen on Saturday, according to a statement on the Saudi state news agency SPA, an attack which threatens a fragile ceasefire ahead of renewed UN-backed peace talks next month.
"Saudi Air Defense Forces intercepted at about 11 P.M. (2000 GMT) yesterday a Scud missile launched from Sanaa, in Yemeni territory, towards the city of Najran ... the air force immediately destroyed the rocket launch platform," the Saudi statement said.
Yemen's state news agency said the target was a Saudi national guard base.
The attack is the latest of several ballistic missile strikes by Yemeni forces on its northern neighbor, none of which have caused any reported casualties.

Geocentricity versus Heliocentricity and the Bible
1) In the bible, the SUN stood still and did not go down for an entire day.
2) the earth cannot stop spinning suddenly. According to mainstream science, the earth spinning is what causes gravity and if it were rotating 1,000MPH as mainstream science teaches, a sudden stopping would cause whatever is on the earth to be thrown around and would cause tsunamis that would destroy the entire earth
How can this be explained in a heliocentric spherical view that we are taught (heliocentric means earth revolves around the sun) Could it be we have been taught incorrectly and a geocentricity is true (IE: sun revolves around the still earth)
Thoughts?
Joshua 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Isaiah 38
7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
Amos 8:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
Habakkuk 3:11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

What is sin? What does Yeshua (Jesus) expect of those who belong to Him?
Yahweh is the God of the bible: the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (Jacob)
Yeshua is the Messiah. His name is translated as Jesus in english. I prefer to use Yeshua to reflect His Jewishness and the Jewishness of following Him although there is nothing wrong with using Jesus as His name.
Turning away from sin means to turn away from violating Torah - 'the law' - meaning Yahweh expects us to obey His rules He gave us in the Old Testament
1 John 3
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7:21-23 Yeshua says He will REJECT those who claim to be His if they do not obey Yahweh
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Verse 21: Not everyone who claims to belong to Messiah Yeshua is accepted by Him as one of His followers. In this verse, Yeshua says only those who obey Yahweh, the Father, will enter the kingdom of heaven. Obedience to the Father is obeying Torah, the instructions found in the first five books of the bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
Matthew 7
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Verse 22: Here many people who claim to be Yeshua's followers and are doing things "for Him" are bringing up their works - in context they are at the the judgment and are using this in their defense because they know they are going to be sent to hell. They are surprised that they were not saved even though they were "in ministry" and "doing things" for Yeshua. This verse is about most people who claim to be Christians: those people are rebels and say "we do not have to obey God because Jesus died so we don't have to" (words to that affect)
Matthew 7
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work
iniquity G458.
Strong's number G458 : iniquity (transliterated as anomia) is
anomia
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
Verse 23: Yeshua will reject those who do not follow Yahweh's instructions (the Torah / the Law) Yeshua is very clear in verse 22 - where people were doing works "for Him" and verse 23 - where He rejects those who do not obey that there is a vast difference in attempting to do works without obedience for salvation (which is no salvation) and obedience to Yahweh yet most "Christians" are in rebellion against Yahweh. These false "christians" justify their rebellion by stating that obedience is "trying to do works for your salvation". They make all sorts of claims that "we do not need to obey the law because that is works and salvation is by graaaace" and "the law was nailed to the cross" and "the law is for the Jews" These are the people verses21-23 is speaking of. Messiah Yeshua clearly makes a distinction of doing works for salvation without obedience and obedience yet the rebellious claims that obedience is "works". Yeshua also says the road is NARROW and FEW find it - most want fire insurance (salvation) from hell but few want to OBEY. You must accept Yeshua as Messiah (meaning LORD as well as Savior) meaning you must follow / OBEY Him otherwise He will reject you. Yeshua is very clear that we are to obey and He will reject those who don't.
Matthew 7
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Scripture is clear that obedience is better than sacrifice (works) and (like Yeshua does in the above passage) the Old Testament also distinguishes between the two:
1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
Other verses in the New Testament that state we are to OBEY Yahweh's instructions (IE: The Torah or "The Law")
John14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
In the book of Revelation, it also clearly states that obedience to Torah is as important as believing Yeshua is the Messiah (after all, even satan believes Yeshua is Messiah but he is not one of Yahweh's Holy angels - he is in rebellion with no chance to repent)
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Climate change solved!!!
obama claims climate change causes terrorism. he also claims isis is contained so if climate change causes terrorism and isis is contained, that must mean the climate change problem (whatever they claimed that was) is solved!!!
Unbiblical Passover traditions
The seder plate with the ishtar egg and the broken bones of the sheep are NOT how we are to celebrate Passover. When I lived in Seattle, my muslim landlords were able to find a whole sheep with unbroken bones when they roasted it for ramadan so it is not impossible to do (they found an adult sheep - Passover is to be observed with a smaller lamb less than a year old) Also goats are acceptable for Passover (and that is worthy of a discussion)
How do people justify the lamb shank as a "representation" when Yahweh warns to observe according to HIS regulations? How do people justify using the babylonian egg in a celebration of Yahweh? How do people justify the seder plate representation while fixing meat of some other animal for the real meal? Yahweh is clear we are to eat the lamb - with unbroken bones - not use a [broken] shank bone to represent it and then eating chicken, turkey, or some other animal. The roasted egg is directly from babylon and is from ishtar eggs that are used in ishtar (easter) celebrations.
Note those who are away from Jerusalem are to observe it in the SECOND month, not the first month. How do people justify celebrating Passover in the first month when they are away from Israel? :
JPS
Numbers 9
10 'Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD;
11 in the second month on the fourteenth day at dusk they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;
12 they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof; according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it.
CJB
Numbers 9
10 "Tell the people of Isra'el, 'If any of you now or in future generations is unclean because of a corpse, or if he is on a trip abroad, nevertheless he is to observe Pesach.
11 But he will observe it in the second month on the fourteenth day at dusk. They are to eat it with matzah and maror,
12 they are to leave none of it until morning, and they are not to break any of its bones — they are to observe it according to all the regulations of Pesach.
-----------------------
Verse 5 says the Passover lamb may be taken from the sheep or the goats and must be a male:
Exodus 12
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying:
2 'This month shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying: In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;
4 and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man's eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year; ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats;
6 and ye shall keep it unto the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at dusk.
7 And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
How do people justify the lamb shank as a "representation" when Yahweh warns to observe according to HIS regulations? How do people justify using the babylonian egg in a celebration of Yahweh? How do people justify the seder plate representation while fixing meat of some other animal for the real meal? Yahweh is clear we are to eat the lamb - with unbroken bones - not use a [broken] shank bone to represent it and then eating chicken, turkey, or some other animal.

Double mindedness of liberals
Quote from Ken Mascaro
"When i see black robed and hooded people, my fear is as plausible as any black person seeing a white robed and hooded person. But of course liberals only understand one of those two fears."
"When i see black robed and hooded people, my fear is as plausible as any black person seeing a white robed and hooded person. But of course liberals only understand one of those two fears."
Increased lawlessness (iniquity) - our narcissistic society.
Messiah Yeshua said in the end times because of increasing iniquity, love will grow cold:
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquityG458 shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Iniquity is Strong's G458:
iniquity (transliterated as anomia) is Strong's number G458 :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
So love will grow colder as people move away from Yahweh's law - His Torah. We see this with the United States continuing to fund planned parenthood even after it came out they sell baby parts and even kill babies that are born alive. We see this with the increasing agenda of the sodomites and now the pedophiles (after the pedophiles people who want to legally have sex with animals will push to make it legal) Today, people only care about themselves and have no concern about others. It has become a world filled with narcissists who only care about their wants and needs and will use and abuse others to get it.
God was pushed out of school. God is pushed out of society. Since God is not wanted, He will leave and allow allah to take over. This is the end of the end days and Yahweh's judgment is about to fall. Now is the time to repent and accept Yeshua as Messiah - meaning LORD as well as Savior. Lord means you FOLLOW HIM and do as He says or He will reject you even if you claim to be His:
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquityG458.
Notice in verse 23 is the same word iniquity (Strongs G458) as in Matthew 24:12 (above) If you do not obey God's law (Torah) Yeshua / Jesus will reject you.
John14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquityG458 shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Replacement theology is a doctrine of demons
Gentile believers are grafted into Messiah Yeshua and become part of Israel. They are *NOT* grafted into a tribe of Israel. They are gentiles - wild branches - that become part of Israel by ADOPTION - they are NOT the "ten lost tribes". Those that teach the gentile believers are the "ten lost tribes" have bought into a weird mixture of replacement theology (IE: british Israelism), dominionism, and calvanism (IE: only those who are of the "lost tribes" can be saved) This is contrary to what scripture teaches.
The foreigners are still foreigners (wild olives) and were NOT grafted into a tribe:
Exodus 20:10 but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God. On it, you are not to do any kind of work — not you, your son or your daughter, not your male or female slave, not your livestock, and not the foreigner staying with you inside the gates to your property.
Everyone - Jew or gentile - irregardless of "tribe affiliation" can be saved:
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
This is NOT the 'lost sheep of Israel' this is about the GENTILES:
John 10:16 Also I have other sheep which are not from this pen; I need to bring them, and they will hear my voice; and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
The apostle Paul contrasts gentiles and Israel. He also states the gentiles - the wild olive branches - are grafted in AMONG the natural branches - they are NOT grafted ONTO the other branches - they are grafted into Yeshua AMONG the native branches and they maintain their identity. The idea of grafting another variety into a tree is to have a different variety not so that it will change into the original variety :
Romans 11
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
The foreigners are still foreigners (wild olives) and were NOT grafted into a tribe:
Exodus 20:10 but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God. On it, you are not to do any kind of work — not you, your son or your daughter, not your male or female slave, not your livestock, and not the foreigner staying with you inside the gates to your property.

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Gemstones in the Bible
Just something interesting Yahweh showed me. First - satan was in the garden of Eden before he fell and had all his gemstone covering- could it be the iniquity that was found in him was when he tempted Eve? Strong implication that this is so!
The jewels in the High Priest's breastplate and the ones covering satan. Not a perfect match although it is more than a coincidence. Interesting that the High Priest's breastplate and the New Jerusalem walls (in the book of Revelation) have 12 gemstones mentioned but satan has only ten mentioned although the verse says 'EVERY precious stone was thy covering' .
Not sure what all this means although I know there is something more Yahweh has not shown me yet. There is another teaching from reading these passages although is not related to the gemstones and I'll post about it later.
Description of the High Priest's Breastplate (commanded by Yahweh)
Exodus 28
17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.
18 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
Description of satan when he was in the Garden of Eden before he fell:
Ezekiel 28
13 thou wast in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the carnelian, the topaz, and the emerald, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the smaragd, and gold; the workmanship of thy settings and of thy sockets was in thee, in the day that thou wast created they were prepared.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Description of the gemstones making up the walls of the New Jerusalem in the book of Revelation:
Revelation 21
18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

First post!
תכלת תכלת
Looks like facebook does not want anti-muslim comments and has told me that I have to upload my identification because my name is "not a real name" in spite of my sending them a copy of my drivers license. I was getting tired of facebook and all the shallowness and stupidity anyway so this is going to be beneficial to my spiritual well being. I'm hoping most of my real facebook friends will find me here and will post here. I may also have my tinychat open at times for fellowship although once next semester starts I may have limited time (yes, I'm back in school)
I will be posting some of the things Yahweh has shown me while reading scripture, talk about what is going on in the church today, bible prophecy, some of my hobbies, and possibly share some of my computer programs that I write (I'm in school for computer programming)
Please watch this video. David Wilkerson tells about the jezebel spirit and the apostasy that has become so widespread throughout the church today. I'll discuss more about this later.
